What happens

是一部映艺娱乐有限公司出品,何宇恒执导的第三部马来西亚电影,於2006年上映。 本片讲述了少年对成年人的困惑和失望,展现了少年内心深处青春的悸动。作为一部刻划人性、描述自我发现的公路电影,也反映了马来西亚边缘社群的社会生存状态。 阿冬大考完毕后乘坐巴士从家乡村庄来到吉隆坡寻找哥哥阿康。但刚到大城市他就遭到勒索,身上的钱所剩无几。后来他找到阿康,阿冬不清楚哥哥从事的职业,此行目的是想说服哥哥回家,以修补妈妈和哥哥之间长期的僵持关系。 守寡多年的妈妈最近认识了游手好闲的男人七叔,这令阿冬很不满,因此导致他和妈妈的关系也紧张起来。之后阿康被别人打死,原本凋零的家里就只剩下阿冬与妈妈两人,生活更加悲凉。 妈妈与七叔的暧昧关系最终导致阿冬离家出走。他跑到了偏远的渔村的舅父阿牯家里,爱上一个中国女孩,开始了一段刻骨铭心的生活。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
